I wonder if they’re planning on presenting this data to end users. I don’t mind if an app is using a certain permission, and if they have to get Apple’s approval that is great, but I’d love to know why specifically it needs that permission

AI. It’s soooo much easier to ask an LLM your question. Even if its answer is wrong, at least it’s not an asshole

I really can’t imagine jt be that bad. It should just be an occasional ping, unless you want to track on demand. At least that’s how the Apple Find My ecosystem works. If I don’t check a device’s location, it doesn’t ping for hours, but then if I want, I can watch a device in real time (impacting battery of course). I’d imagine google’s implementation will be similar

That’s early adopter pain for you. In Europe there is one standard, and in the US, we’re getting there. Yes it’ll be a pain for a while that people with CCS ports will need to use adapters at NACS chargers and vice versa, but we’re settling on the underlying CCS technology being the standard, so it’ll just be a matter of connector. Much better than the three standards we had very recently (add chademo)

Can’t blame them. It’s hard to imagine the other teams making such massive strides that they would put RB’s championship at risk. Even if it means they lose a few races at the end of the season, they’re still going to win both championships

do they think somehow people like me will change our minds?

Yeah. I use Firefox too, and when a site doesn’t work, I open it in chromium

Underwater means that I owe more on the car than it’s worth. I bought it at $52K with a 15K downpayment, and at this point I owe $33K on it. Carvana estimates it’s worth $30K, so if I totaled it tomorrow, my insurance company would give me $30K, but then I’d be on the hook for the other $3,000. So gap insurance takes care of that. In fact, my gap policy says that if I total a car two years old or newer, they’ll pay it off and get me a brand new one as a replacement, and if it’s older than two years, they’ll get me one a year newer.

So I’m paying $8/month for the peace of mind that I don’t have to worry about out owing money in the case of a crash.

Obviously when I bought the car, I wasn’t expecting Tesla to drop the price so much and crater the used market

Yeah, same. I never dreamed that a Tesla would be the cheaper option (summer 2022 at peak prices) compared to a Mach e, ev6, or ioniq5, but my dealerships all had 15k markups, and each car has features I wanted gated behind higher trims, so they were all like 60k+ after markups (don’t remember specifics since it was over a year ago)

Thankfully I got a ridiculous trade in check from my ID.4, so I was able to afford a huge downpayment on the model 3, although thanks to the price drops, I’m underwater again… good thing gap insurance is only $8 a month through my insurance

Yeah, dealers are the last group that I feel sorry for

My battery health has gotten awful recently too. I’ve got a series 5, so yes it’s 4 years old, but I genuinely only get about 12 hours of battery life these days. I went through and uninstalled every single app I don’t use, but it’s still awful.

Love everything else about it though, so I set a slickdeals alert to hopefully pick up a cheaper series 8 sometime between now and when the series 9 launches

Absolutely legendary quali session. That’s what I love to see

Man that’s clever

Gotta feel bad for Nyck, especially considering Christian said “If we’ve got to do something, we might as well get on with it and give Daniel 12 races to see what he’s capable of.”

Bummer for him that Daniel gets 12 races to see what he’s capable of but Nyck only got 10

It’s also worth mentioning that on launch day, people in Europe were able to access it via VPN (not sure how big of a number of users that was), but they’ve since blocked those users. I’m sure that’s not a massive chunk, but it’s a chunk nonetheless

I’ve already seen number 1 happen. I’ve had a completely unacceptable amount of non-nsfw tagged porn hit my front page being posted to various Lemmy.world communities, all by shitjustworks users. I’m getting pretty close to abandoning the platform myself because I don’t need that shit coming up on my phone when I’m just trying to browse

Edit: that said, I’m not going back to Reddit. I’ll just abandon this type of site altogether and spend more meaningful time with my family and read more books

It’s a real struggle. I’m a sedan boy through and through, and it’s getting harder and harder. Especially since where I live is pretty much all new construction (including my house TBF) and nothing is designed with small car sight-lines in mind anymore. Parking lots are treacherous because I’m always sandwiched between two monstrosities and can’t see anything trying to get out of a parking spot, and for some insane reason my car doesn’t have any cross-traffic monitoring/alerts.

Doesn’t support 4K?

Super mixed opinions about this one. On the one hand, I hate the consolidation, ever approaching monopolies. But on the other hand, Actiblizz management has been so bad for so long, I’m looking forward to them getting out of the way and seeing what can come when people who want to make games get to use their IPs. But also, is there anyone left in blizzard leadership who even cares anymore?
